RUMOR: Apple Bringing Wireless Charging to iPhone in 2013

A report from Digitimes cites “industry sources” saying that Apple is adopting a new wireless charging technology for the iPhone. The report doesn’t indicate if the next generation iPhone will feature built in wireless charging technology or if it will be an accessory.

I personally don’t see how wireless charging on the iPhone would be very useful. Sure, it sounds cool, but in reality, it’s just dumb. You still need to plug in the wireless charging device, it’s not like your iPhone will charge automatically when connected to your AirPort Extreme….now that would be awesome.
